 execution of works or not) with a deadline of maximum 2 months since the start date
of the implementation.
b. Launching the procurement procedure for the execution of works contract in case the
project partners have applied for financing with a complete technical design, with a
deadline of maximum 2 months since the start date of the implementation.
c. Launching the procurement procedure for the main equipment, with a deadline of
maximum 2 months since the start date of the implementation. In case the
procurement of equipment is conditioned by the finalization of other activities (for
example, equipment is designed for endowment of a building and shall be procured
after the construction of the building is finalized), the deadline shall be set at a
maximum period of 2 months after the delivery date established in the approved
application form for the deliverable on which launching the procurement is depending
on (for example, within 2 months after the finalization date of the construction, as
foreseen by the approved application form);

a. Launching the procurement procedure for the main services foreseen within the
project (for elaboration of studies, strategies, organization of the main events, etc.) or
main equipment to be used in the project. The deadline shall be set for maximum 2

procedure is conditioned by performance of other activities (for example, if the
procurement of the organization of the events may be started only after the
elaboration of a study, the deadline shall be set at a maximum period of 2 months
after the delivery date established in the approved application form for the deliverable
on which launching the procurement is depending on);
b. In case the soft project does not include externalized services for the main activities
and those shall be realized with own resources of the project partners, the milestone
“Launching the (public) procurement procedure for….” shall be excluded, and specific
milestones shall be included in the category “Other milestones…”
